' Another delegation of about twenty, children sent out by the Tn'buncFresh Air fund, who have been with Mrs. Sarah Meeker of Cross Highway, returned home last Tuesday. ‘5 , , ' , Mrs. Frisbie of Bloomfield, who was formerly a resident of this place her deceased husband being rector 'of Christ church for a number of years, is visiting at Mr. Andrew C. Nash's. Chief Engineer John S." Jones of the Westport' Fire Department, accompanied by his wife, went to Long Branch 'on ,chnesday to attend the meeting of the national association fire engineers. The most exciting tepid among'sporting circles during the past week has been a coming race between a horse owned by E. J. Wadham, the rubber bucket man, and Daniel Driscoll of Hockamen farm, which is to come off at Slierwood’s track next Saturday. Which horse did you bet on it On Thursday of last week. Mr. Edward W. Taylor of this place, was married to Miss Agnes Adams of Weston, at the residence of the bride, Rev. Mr. Parks performing the ceremony in the presence of a limited number of immediate relatives. On Friday the bridegroom celebrated his‘ 'Sfith birthday. On Wednesday morning a quantity of broken eggs, huckleberries, flour, tobac. co, candy, apples, and pears beside several broken jars and a broken wagon spring, which were lying in the gutter and by't-hc side of the stone wall about halfway of the hill, near Shercrow school house indicated 1 that a mishap had befsllen someone with a load of groceries some time during the previous night, which was extremely dark, but no news-of any such accident has reached as up to this writing. The trouble in Greens Farms arising from the disposition of one of the resi- dents to put out his fence and enclose a large part of the “Green" promises to result in considerable hard feeling in the neighborhood. A petition, signed by a number who object was presented to the selectmen asking them to forbid any such action which they did. Another petition was circulated asking the selectmen to withdraw their prohibition, which they also did. Another petition has been circulated "asking them to forbid again, and thus it may go on until the fence is erected and then it will probably blow over with a little blaster and the green will be a thing of the past. The Congregational Sunday school picnic which was held at Dorlon's Point last Saturday, was a complete success, everything passing off most satisfactorilyt The weather was all that could be desired and the old as well as young people gathered at the church and at Saugatuck, to the number of over two hundred, while they were conveyed by- cnrryalls to the point. Arriving at the-destination the young people enjoyed themselves in vari- ous ways, a number of boats being pro- vided for sailing, until time for dinner when they were all seated at bountifully provided tables, to which they did full justice, the fresh air from the ~ water having given them good appetites. Not a single mishap occurred to mar the enjoy. ments of the occasion. From time to time, the subject of the purchase by the town, of the old Christ church edifice for a town hall and town ofiices, has been referred to but no steps have been taken with that end in view. We have heard several express the opinion that it would be a most appropri- ate act and we think their idea a most sensible one. The interest on the pur- chase money could not exceed the sum paid at present for rent, to a great amount beside the greater convenience to those having business to transact in having the offices in‘ one building. The. records too wouldbe much less exposedgacy danger fircm fire on ‘account of the isolated situ- ‘ ation of the building. as they are at present located a fire would result iii their certain destruction, particularly the pro- bate records, the destruction-of which would result in irreparable loss and in less litigation. We. think this matter should receive the serious attention of every inhabitant of the town.

STATE AND GENERAL- A Bridgeport saloon keeper's wife gave birth to triplets last week. A toboggau slide 1,000 feet long is in contemplation at High Rock Grove. ' Lieutenant Howard of Gatling gun fame, talks of starting a cartridge factory in Can- ads. 5 A Torrington fat women rolled dow stairs the other day and cut her head open. - 'A $1,500 Jersey cow, belonging to Jas. Leverty, of Fairfield, was killed by the cars a few days ago. Three employes of the Sandy Hook rub— ber company have been discharged for perjuring themselves in a liquor case. ' Joseph 8. Adam, of Salisbury, Barnum’s town, has beenappointed division deputy in the Bridgeport internal revenue ofilce.’ Charles Behner, a Birmingham brute, was fined $5.00 and costs, and thirty days in jail last week, for “Winnipeuking” his wife. Mrs. Brockway of Waterford has ap. plied for a divorce from, her husband just few weeks ago. A Russian Jew named Peter Tegsilowitz in New Haven stole a bottle of whiskey, a hat, coat and some cake the other day. He has a bad name. Charles Higgins, of New Haven, a brakcman on the Consolidated road, had his hand badly crushed at Stamford,Tues- day night, while coupling freight cars. A little city boy who snmmeréd in Winsted refused with haughty dignity to drink milk that “tum out— of dat old tow," he wanted some that “turns out of a tin tan." ~ Three hundred thousand watches are made by the Waterbury watch company every year. The average wages. of the operatives, most of whom are women, is ‘ $1.50 per day. A nine-year-old Bridgeport boy, while “stealing aside” on a farm wagon a few days ago, got caught in the spokes of the wheel, and will go through life with only one leg in consequence. Winsted is growling because she is left out of the list of towns in the special mail delivery scheme, although, having “over 4,000 inhabitants, she is plainly entitled to become a delivery office." A. New Milford farmer has just died of brain fever caused by overwork and worry, be having been up all night recently burn- ing bonfires around his tobacco field through fear of a destructive frost. At the Hamilton park in _New Haven, Wednesday, John Dcty, a driver, was thrown from his sulky and the horses, Maggie B. and Westchester Girl, ran over the track and jumped the fence to the con- sternation of the spectators. William S. Johnson was nearly killed Wednesday by a maniac, whom he was taking in a back from North Guilford to Litchfield. The maniac struck him a wicked blew with his manacled' hands when Mr. J . was off his guard. ' Despite the instructionssent by her hus- band from Philadelphia, Mrs. Parry of Hartford was allowed to see the remains of her little son who shot himself in Phila- delphia last week. The interment occurred in Hartford Tuesday. The parents have been separated for some time. » Tuesday morning as John Rice, the diver employed at Tomlinson’s bridge, New Haven, was coming to the surface after a trip to the bottom of the river, a mud scow was being towed through the aperture between the piers. The scow grazed his body. Even after he reached the surface he was in great danger for the ungainly vessel almost crushed him against the bridge abutment. AWillington judge recently fined 11 man $48.00 for carting beer around the town leaving it by kegs and bottles behind stone walls and underground for his customers. The man was so pleased to get off so easily that he presented a bottle to the justice with the appeal, “Take suthin’ judge.” The justice said he didn’tcare if he did, and drank the liquor in the pres- ence of the court and asked for a couple more bottles to take home to his folks. Four-Waterbury poker players sat down for a quiet game the other night. After an hour or two one man got six cards by accident. He liked the looks of his hand and was unwilling to throw them up. Just then a plate of sandwiches was brought in. The man with six cards picked up a sandwich, slid his extra card between the slices of bread, and ate the bread, meat and card. He took the pot and his com. panion did not notice his stratagem. A day or two ago he confessed his trick and in consequence there was a champagne supper for the whole party. . . Tuesday night Dr. W. W. Shefileld, of New London, was awakened by feeling a man's hand run along: the bed between the matresscs. As the doctor assumed a sit. ting posture the burglar. started for the door. The doctor followed through the dining room, where the man escaped by jumping from an open window. The burglar had taken from the doctor’s cloth- ing a. pocket book containg $196, also a watch and chain valued at. $250. This was the seventh burglary in'ttbat vicinity within two weeks. A welLorganized gang of burglars is believed to be at work in New London. There is more trouble about the New Haven soldiers’ monument. Not long ago Admiral Foote Post proposed to place on the monument tablets bearing the names of the soldiers and sailors who died in the war. Now Henry C. Mei-win Post comes out with an indignant protest. It thinks that “to inscribe the names of only those who died in the service of the nation is an injustice to the surviving soldiers and sailors and to those who have since joined the great army above; to commemorate a few when so many are deserving honors which will extend throughout time, is un- just, ctc." It also objects to a tablet depicting the engagement between the Monitor and Mcrrimac as not “general" enough to justly illustrate the American navy of the past and present, also that the eflort to raise funds for the tablets will “work injury to the vital objects of the Grand Army of the Republic." ‘ —-———‘§'-—————-‘ Prohibition Straight.

That is the kind of prohibition that is likely to have some salutary effect and is worth all the moral suasion ona certain lot of chronic guzzlers that could be doled out by all the Good Samaritans and tem- perance organizations there are in the country.—Naugatuck Review. ————-—¢-»————- List of Patcntc‘ ' Issued from the U.
